lyrics

Danny Howells: Well, am I afraid of the future? Well I don’t think the future is looking too great right now. Unless people in their masses make huge huge huge changes to the way they live. I don’t really have much hope really. I don’t want to sound too negative but that is just the way I feel.

Ulysse Zangs: Oui j'ai peur. J'ai peur de plus en plus de ne pas savoir jusqu'où les politiciens, les banques etc. vont aller pour satisfaire leurs besoins - et contrôler ma liberté. Mais j'ai l'équivalence d'espoir pour notre intelligence et respirant vers l'autre, envers la nature. Et si le monde doit s'effondrer, il s'effondra.
Et pour laisser place à une nouvelle ère et qui je l'espère recommencera sur des meilleurs bases - avec l'amour à la tête de la chaîne.

Pippi: Für mich persönlich frage ich mich schon lange und auch immer noch, wie ich meinen Platz finden soll. Deshalb bin ich auch im Danni. Weil ich hier in den Städten oder in dieser Normalität, in dieser suggerierten, die eigentlich total entfremdet ist - das merkt man, wenn man sich da mal rauszieht - ich weiss nicht wie ich da meinen Platz finden soll. Und das macht mir persönlich auch Angst.

Daphne Fernberger: So I really focus on the things that go towards a better future. And fear doesn’t help. Honesty does and changes do.

Tom Szirtes: I am, I am afraid of the future. Is afraid the right word? I have concerns about the future. I don’t know if it is because I’m getting older. The future of the world seemed a much less planned place and much less certain place when I was growing up, for all sorts of reasons. Than nothing else, climate change is the biggest of those. Our systems are not going to survive and that’s fundamentally going to change everything. I’m not sure our societies will be able to adapt quickly enough.

Asterico: When you are talking about climate change and all the massive bushfire that happens in Australia - and it’s happening quite often and it’s getting worse - and that current huge fire in California and all the other stuff, then yes it’s scary. But life has always been a mixture of fear and excitement and pain and happiness, right? That’s life. So - yes I am afraid and I am excited and I am hopeful about the future. And all we can do is just to live for the moment, until for the moment won’t come anymore.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

Little Big II: Dreams of a Mechanical Man
by Aaron Parks

supported by 5 fans who also own “Afraid Of The Future”

A story of sadness, confusion, and despair ending in hope and certainty that the cosmos is not a random and meaningless jumble of atoms populated by mindless mechanical men, but a world of meaning, beauty, and truth. Emotions and the heart are not everything, but they are an essential part of being human. ianjworsomething
